should reach us as many days 

 in advance as possible so that 

 every care and attention in 

 setting-up, approving and 

 placing may be exercised. 



This issue will be made 

 as attractive to the buying 

 trade, as serviceable to the 

 selling trade and as creditable 

 to the publishers as any of its 

 predecessors and as much 

 better as zeal and experience 

 can make it. 



If you have plants, flowers, 

 florists' supplies and horticul- 

 tural requisites of any kind to 

 offer to the leading trade 

 buyers, here is your oppor- 

 tunity to "get there." 



TRY IT! 



British Horticulture 



Chrysanthemum Show. 

 Judging from the recent annual 

 show of the National Chrysanthemum 

 Society the "Autumn Queen" still has 

 many loyal supporters, whilst the at- 

 tention given to it hy British raisers 

 shows no signs of diminution. The ex- 

 hibition proved in every way success- 

 ful, and the trade, despite the fact that 

 they have been handicapped by the 

 shortage of labor, made some merito- 

 rious displays. The new varieties re- 

 cently certificated, particulars of 

 which I recently forwarded, found 

 many admirers. British raisers seem 

 determined to reach a still higher 

 standard amongst the exhibition 

 blooms, whilst some of the newcomers 

 will doubtless be found very useful for 

 market work. Keen interest was taken 

 in a fine new golden bronze bloom, 

 Edith Cavell, shown by Wells & Co., 

 who have introduced in recent years 

 many present day popular varieties. 

 Some excellent effects were produced 

 by the bold groups arranged by the 

 leading specialists. There was a bank 

 of varied hues at one end of the hall, 

 containing 150 Japanese varieties, 

 ranging from the neat pompons to the 

 massive show blooms. Commercial 

 growers were attracted by a new va- 

 riety, Market Bronze, raised by Nor- 

 man Davis. It has been raised from 

 Bronze Soleil d'Octobre and December 

 Gold, and has the combined good qual- 

 ities of its parents.
